Set in Grade A listed Victorian vaults, the brick arches have the enviable attraction of being both distinctive and extremely versatile.

Thanks to a highly experienced and famously dedicated in-house technical team, The Arches has already been transformed into a baroque banquet hall, a 60s party, Casino Royale, a Scottish Baronial hall banquet and a contemporary Scottish dinner and ceilidh, to name but a few. What will you turn it into? We’re always open to creating bespoke ideas specific to your needs.

The space is equally suitable for holding up to 700 people for a dinner or banquet, 2000 for a drinks reception, or for creating a small intimate event for 100-300 people using one or two arches.

Conference facilities are available for 150 – 200 attendees, with stage set and raked seating. Exhibitions are easily catered for throughout the ground floor. Syndicate breakout areas also available.

With catering packages to suit every budget, a late licence and reduced rates for city centre car parking, we can make organising your event a whole lot easier. Our location is enviable- only 10 minutes walk from the SECC & Hydro and we can obtain preferred rates for corporate clients at Jury’s Inn City Centre Hotel (subject to availability)…
